To Set up a test account in the Set up School PCs app
|
||||
If you want to set up a test account using the Set up School PCs app, configure the settings in the **Set up the Take a Test app** page in the Set up School PCs app. Follow the instructions in [Use the Set up School PCs app](use-set-up-school-pcs-app.md) to configure the test-taking account and create a provisioning package.
|
||||
|
||||
If you set up Take a Test, the **Take a Test** button is added on the student PC's sign-in screen. Windows will also lock down the student PC so that students can't access anything else while taking the test.

### Set up a test account through Windows Configuration Designer
|
||||
To set up a test account through Windows Configuration Designer, follow these steps.
|
||||
|
||||
1. [Install Windows Configuration Designer](/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/provisioning-install-icd).
|
||||
2. Create a provisioning package by following the steps in [Provision PCs with common settings for initial deployment (desktop wizard)](/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/provision-pcs-for-initial-deployment). However, make a note of these other settings to customize the test account.
|
||||
1. After you're done with the wizard, don't click **Create**. Instead, click the **Switch to advanced editor** to switch the project to the advanced editor to see all the available **Runtime settings**.
|
||||
2. Under **Runtime settings**, go to **AssignedAccess > AssignedAccessSettings**.
|
||||
3. Enter **{"Account":"*redmond\\kioskuser*","AUMID":” Microsoft.Windows.SecureAssessmentBrowser_cw5n1h2txyewy!App "}**, using the account that you want to set up.
|
||||
|
||||
**Figure 7** - Add the account to use for test-taking
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The account can be in one of the following formats:
|
||||
- username
|
||||
- domain\username
|
||||
- computer name\\username
|
||||
- username@tenant.com
|
||||
|
||||
4. Under **Runtime settings**, go to **TakeATest** and configure the following settings:
|
||||
- In **LaunchURI**, enter the assessment URL.
|
||||
- In **TesterAccount**, enter the test account you entered in step 3.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Follow the steps to [build a package](/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/provisioning-create-package#build-package).
|
||||
|
||||
- You'll see the file path for your provisioning package. By default, this is set to %windir%\Users\*your_username<em>\Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (WICD)\*Project name</em>).
|
||||
- Copy the provisioning package to a USB drive.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Follow the steps in [Apply a provisioning package](/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/provisioning-apply-package) to apply the package that you created.
|
||||
|
||||
Apply the provisioning package to the devices that you want to enable Stickers on.
|
||||
|
||||
### Set up a test account in MDM or Configuration Manager
|
||||
You can configure a dedicated testing account through MDM or Configuration Manager by specifying a single account in the directory to be the test-taking account. Devices that have the test-taking policies can sign into the specified account to take the test.
|
||||
|
||||
**Best practice**
|
||||
- Create a single account in the directory specifically for test taking
|
||||
- Active Directory example: Contoso\TestAccount
|
||||
- Azure Active Directory example: testaccount@contoso.com
|
||||
|
||||
- Deploy the policies to the group of test-taking devices
|
||||
|
||||
**To enable this configuration**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Launch your management console.
|
||||
2. Create a policy to set up single app kiosk mode using the following values:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Custom OMA-DM URI** = ./Vendor/MSFT/AssignedAccess/KioskModeApp
|
||||
- **String value** = {"*Account*":"*redmond\\kioskuser*","AUMID":” Microsoft.Windows.SecureAssessmentBrowser_cw5n1h2txyewy!App "}
|
||||
|
||||
*Account* can be in one of the following formats:
|
||||
- username (not recommended)
|
||||
- domain\username
|
||||
- computer name\\username (not recommended)
|
||||
- username@tenant.com
|
||||
|
||||
3. Create a policy to configure the assessment URL using the following values:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Custom OMA-DM URI** = ./Vendor/MSFT/SecureAssessment/LaunchURI
|
||||
- **String value** = *assessment URL*
|
||||
|
||||
4. Create a policy that associates the assessment URL to the account using the following values:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Custom OMA-DM URI** = ./Vendor/MSFT/SecureAssessment/TesterAccount
|
||||
- **String value** = Enter the account that you specified in step 2, using the same account format.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Deploy the policies to the test-taking devices.
|
||||
6. To take the test, the student signs in to the test account.

# Set up Take a Test on a single device
|
||||
|
||||
To configure [Take a Test](take-tests-in-windows-10.md) on a single PC, follow the guidance in this topic.
|
||||
|
||||
## Set up a dedicated test account
|
||||
To configure the assessment URL and a dedicated testing account on a single PC, follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Sign into the Windows device with an administrator account
|
||||
1. Open the **Settings** app and select **Accounts** > **Other Users**
|
||||
1. Under **Other users**, select **Add account** > **I don't have this person's sign-in information** > **Add a user without a Microsoft account**
|
||||
1. Provide a user name and password for the account that will be used for testing
|
||||
:::image type="content" source="./images/takeatest/settings-accounts-create-take-a-test-account.png" alt-text="Use the Settings app to create a test-taking account." border="true":::
|
||||
1. Select **Accounts > Access work or school**
|
||||
1. Select **Create a test-taking account**
|
||||
:::image type="content" source="./images/takeatest/settings-accounts-set-up-take-a-test-account.png" alt-text="Use the Settings app to set up a test-taking account." border="true":::
|
||||
1. Under **Add an account for taking tests**, select **Add account** > Select the account created in step 4
|
||||
:::image type="content" source="./images/takeatest/settings-accounts-choose-take-a-test-account.png" alt-text="Use the Settings app to choose the test-taking account." border="true":::
|
||||

|
||||
1. Under **Test taking settings** select the options you want to enable during the test
|
||||
- To enable printing, select **Require printing**
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> Make sure a printer is pre-configured on the Take a Test account if you're enabling this option.
|
||||
|
||||
- To enable teachers to monitor screens, select **Allow screen monitoring**
|
||||
- To allow text suggestions, select **Allow text suggestions**
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
:::image type="content" source="./images/takeatest/login-screen-take-a-test-single-pc.png" alt-text="Windows 11 SE login screen with the take a test account." border="true":::
|
||||
|
||||
## Create and distribute a link to the test
|
||||
|
||||
Anything hosted on the web can be presented in a locked down manner, not just assessments. To lock down online content, embed a URL with a specific prefix and devices will be locked down when users follow the link. This approach is recommended for lower stakes assessments.
|
||||
To create a link to the test, there are two options:
|
||||
|
||||
- Create a link using a web UI
|
||||
- Create a link using schema activation
|
||||
|
||||
### Create a link using a web UI
|
||||
|
||||
For this option, copy the assessment URL and open the web application <a href="https://aka.ms/create-a-take-a-test-link" target="_blank"><u>Customize your assessment URL</u></a>, where you can:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Paste the link to the assessment URL
|
||||
1. Select the options you want to allow during the test
|
||||
1. Generate the link by selecting the button Create link
|
||||
|
||||
This is an ideal option for teachers.
|
||||
|
||||
### Create a link using schema activation
|
||||
|
||||
For this option, you embed a URL with a specific prefix and specify parameters depending on what you want to allow during the test. Once users open the URL, devices will be locked down.
|
||||
The URL must be in the following format:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ms-edu-secureassessment:<URL>#enforceLockdown
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To enable printing, screen capture, or both, use the above link and append one of these parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
- `&enableTextSuggestions` - Enables text suggestions
|
||||
- `&requirePrinting` - Enables printing
|

- `&enableScreenCapture` - Enables screen capture
|
||||
- `&requirePrinting&enableScreenCapture` - Enables printing and screen capture; you can use a combination of `&enableTextSuggestions`, `&requirePrinting`, and `&enableScreenCapture` if you want to enable more than one capability.
|

|
||||
If these parameters are not included, the default behavior is to disable the capabilities.

For tests that utilizes the Windows lockdown API, which checks for running processes before locking down, remove `enforceLockdown`. Removing `enforceLockdown` will result in the app not locking down immediately, which allows you to close apps that are not allowed to run during lockdown. Take a Test will lock down the device once the applications are closed.
|
||||
|
||||
To enable permissive mode, do not include `enforceLockdown` in the schema parameters. For more information, see [Permissive mode](take-a-test-app-technical.md#permissive-mode).

|
||||
|
||||
For example, you can create and copy the shortcut to the assessment URL to the students' desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
To take the test, have the students click on the link and provide user consent.

||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> If you enabled printing, the printer must be pre-configured for the account before the student takes the test.
